I have to agree and ask, what is the reason for this? T2 drones should not be too expensive for anyone, and integrated are usually cheaper than tech 2? Also faction ammo is allowed, which can easily exceed the cost of T2 drones in many cases.
Why no T2 drones?

Why no T2 drones? --A drone lover Hi, rewatch the last two years of tourney and tell me again if you want a drone meta like the previous years? NOPE. Shake things up! Thanks everyone
Cant quite be assed to RE-watch it, it's VERY long(I wouldnt be able to answer you for a week), however, I watch the AT every year, and see the same problem occuring again and again. The theorycrafters working at the team setups find something to be the best kind of setup, then everyone copies them.
Then the next year, the AT has MORE rules, trying to prevent specific types of overused setups, but not really making a dent in the problem that everyone always finds one kind of "best" setup, which gets copied all over, resulting in every AT ever having a "theme"
But however previous year rules tend to carry over, making every year more of an arbitrary rule mess, and less and less like actual PVP.
I'm fully behind banning geckos and augmented drones, as well as navy faction drones, for having too much hp, preventing their destruction in combat. And faction mods on every ship, that balances the playing field, so the ultra rich cant just buy the tournament victories. I would also support banning super rare ammo costing 10.000 isk+ per bullet. But tech 2 and integrated drones? I really cant say I see the point, and I for one found the drone meta quite interesting.
However, for those tired of it: Banning T2 drones wont reduce the drone meta, banning faction drones will, especially the high HP kind of faction drones, because those are incredibly easy to rescue in combat.(I rely on that myself on TQ) Tech 2 and integrated however have nearly the same HP as Tech 1
Banning T2 and integrated drones is really just them saying they don't want anyone flying drone boats, and then we are removing an entire weapon category from the combat options. |
